How to Cheat Bittorrent Ratio by Spoofing

Few days ago I found RatioMaster and it is an application designed for spoofing uploads on BitTorrent trackers.

RatioMaster cheat bittorrent

RatioMaster connects to a tracker and behaves like a normal BitTorrent client, but without actually uploading to / downloading from other peers in the swarm. It reports to the tracker that it's uploading (or downloading or both, it's your choice) at a certain rate, thus making it useful for artificially increasing your ratio on certain sites that track a user's overall ratio (total uploaded/total downloaded).

RatioMaster has hardcoded emulations for the most commonly used BitTorrent clients, but it is also able to parse external files for emulation settings, thus making it easily extensible for your favourite client and easy to update when new versions of said clients are released. The client files (extension ".client") are actually renamed XML files and the syntax should be pretty straight-forward. The emulation layer includes support for parameter order in GETs, reproduction of HTTP headers, generation of application-specific peer_ids and keys and more. RatioMaster can also parse the tracker reannounce time from the tracker's HTTP response, and combined with the fact that you can specify down and up rates makes it pretty hard to detect by any anti-cheat scripts, if not downright impossible. Other features, like a TCP listener (so as to appear connectable on the tracker's peerlist) and a leecher counter (so as to stop any uploads when a torrent has 0 leechers) also contribute to RatioMaster's spoofing abilities.

* How to use *

1. Get a .torrent file associated with the tracker you want to spoof.

2. Load or Drag/Drop that file into RatioMaster.

3. Change the settings in the Options group to your liking: upload speed, download speed (set to 0 to spoof upload only), finished (how much of the file do you want to appear that you have - set to 100% if you want to appear as a seeder) and the type of client you want to emulate. Normally there's no need to change the tracker update interval as it is read from the tracker's reply.

4. Optionally, look through the Advanced and Network tabs and see if you need anything changed there, like using a specific port or announcing through a proxy server. Most users won't need to change anything here.

5. Press the Start button and watch the bytes start rolling.

6. After a while, when you decide you've spoofed enough, press the Stop button to announce to the tracker that you're
